This is technically 2 recipes since the chicken and veg are roasted separately. They work so well together I've partnered them up. The brined chicken is unbelievably moist and tender, while the veg is toasty and sweet.

This recipe gives takeout a run for its money! It’s saucy, sweet, and really tasty. If you would like a little more zip, you could probably add a teaspoon or two of rice vinegar, some Sriracha, or even some red pepper flakes. There is definitely some room to play around, but I really like this recipe as is.#GlobalApron Week 11 - Apricots#Dinner #Lunch
